In the context of scientific communication and the evolution of postmodern culture and society, academic genres have undergone various changes. The study shows that cultural heterogeneity of academic genres, styles and discourses now gives way to an increasing hybridization and discusses theoretical aspects of this process. The second part focuses on specific dimensions of hybridization, in particular between global and local academic genres and discourses, and between real and virtual ones.

Analysing English as a Lingua Franca in Video Games:Linguistic Features, Experiential and Functional Dimensions of Online and Scripted Interactions / Pietro Luigi Iaia

Public ISBD Titre : Analysing English as a Lingua Franca in Video Games:Linguistic Features, Experiential and Functional Dimensions of Online and Scripted Interactions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pietro Luigi Iaia, Auteur Editeur : bern : دار الثقافة Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 139 p. Format : 22.5cm. x 15 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-0343-2138-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 418 Résumé : This book examines the English Lingua Franca (ELF) uses in a corpus of online and scripted video-game interactions. While research generally explores the playful and technological aspects of computer-mediated communication, this study focuses on the strategies of cooperation, language simplification and authentication, lexical creativity and meaning negotiation that are generally activated within the «community of practice of gamers» to facilitate cross-cultural conversations. The scripted exchanges, instead, are examined by means of the ALFA Model (Analysis of Lingua Franca in Audiovisual texts), which is devised to enquire into the extent to which the non-native participants’ language variations are part of the multimodal actualisation of the cognitive construct of «non-native speakers», to which authors resort in order to prompt specific reactions on the part of the receivers. Finally, since the participants’ turns in both online and scripted interactions are visually represented as written messages on screen, this research also contributes to the development of the description of written ELF variations, so far not thoroughly explored in the literature Analysing English as a Lingua Franca in Video Games:Linguistic Features, Experiential and Functional Dimensions of Online and Scripted Interactions [texte imprimé] / Pietro Luigi Iaia, Auteur . - bern : دار الثقافة, 2016 . - 139 p. ; 22.5cm. x 15 cm.

The Racial Horizon of Utopia : Unthinking the Future of Race in Late Twentieth-Century American Utopian Novels / Edward K. Chan

Public ISBD Titre : The Racial Horizon of Utopia : Unthinking the Future of Race in Late Twentieth-Century American Utopian Novels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Edward K. Chan, Auteur Editeur : bern : دار الثقافة Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 226 p. Format : 150 x 225 x 12.7mm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-0343-1916-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 813 Fiction Résumé : Race and utopia have been fundamental features of US American culture since the origins of the country. However, racial ideology has often contradicted the ideals of social and political equality in the United States. This book surveys reimaginings of race in major late twentieth-century US American utopian novels from the 1970s to the 1990s. Dorothy Bryant, Marge Piercy, Samuel Delany, Octavia Butler and Kim Stanley Robinson all present radical new configurations of race in a more ideal society, yet continually encounter an ideological blockage as the horizon beyond which we cannot rethink race. Nevertheless, these novels create productive strains of thinking to grapple with the question of race in US American culture. Drawing on feminist theory and critiques of democracy, the author argues that our utopian dreams cannot be furthered unless we come to terms with the phenomenology of race and the impasse of the individual in liberal humanist democracy.
